Next chapter up, where there is a little surprise at the end.
9. The nightmare
Randall got back to his stand. A.T. Jr. was still and silent, the camera lay a few feet away from him. Randall sighed and rubbed A.T. Jr´s stem. ¨You should hear those reporters out there, A.T.! I thought they would never let us go! ¨ Kelly then came over. ¨Do you mind if I take Fern out for a few minutes? ¨ ¨Oh no, not at all.¨ Randall said. Kelly smiled. ¨Thanks.¨ With effort, she lifted Fern from the stand and put her on a skateboard. Randall watched as Kelly rolled Fern away. A.T. Jr´s vines lifted up and waved good bye to Fern. Fern did the same thing. Randall sat down and frowned. ¨A skateboard, I need that for you! ¨ The room was empty except for Randall, A.T. Jr., and the other plants. Randall closed his eyes and fell into a slumber. He began to dream. In the dream, A.T. Jr. got so big that he burst out from the building. He nodded at other huge man-eating plants and those man-eating plants marched into Monstropolis. The plants then destroyed buildings while millions of monsters fled in terror, but wherever they ran, there was another man-eating plant waiting there, craving monster flesh. At Monsters Inc., the real Audrey 2 stood on top of that building laughing at the destruction of Monstropolis. ¨FEED ME!!!¨ He thundered. Randall awoke. ¨NOOOO!!¨ He panted and looked around. A.T. Jr. was still and silent, so were the other plants. Randall sighed with relief. ¨It was just a dream. A nightmare more like it!¨ He looked over at A.T. Jr. ¨Good thing you’re not talking right now and demanding food like that plant did in the play. Otherwise you would grow bigger and my nightmare would come true.¨ A.T. Jr. turned his head until he was staring straight at Randall and opened his mouth. ¨Feed me.¨

Okay, next chapter up. Oh, and I hoped you've seen the original unhappy ending. 10. Feed me! Randall stared at A.T. Jr. “W-w-what?!” “Feed me!” A.T. Jr. said again. “Oh no!” Randall moaned. “Oh no, no, no!” “Feed me Boggs, feed me now!” Randall stood straight up and began to pace. “Oh great, the plant is starting to talk and now he wants food!” “Cut the crap and bring on the clothes!” “Where could I get food for a plant that big?!” “Tell it to the Marines.” “I would have to buy bed sheets! Then everyone would say, ‘Why are you buying bed sheets every week? Don’t you have some at home?’ ” “My, my, my.” “Shush!” Randall hissed. “I’m trying to think!” “Come on Randall,” A.T. Jr. said. “Just feed me, that’s all. I could give you anything I want.” “No thanks!” Randall said. “I have everything I want.” “What about a woman?” A.T. Jr. said. “How about that Kelly? Lets make a deal, you get Kelly and I’ll lay my vines on that Fern.” A.T. Jr. suddenly grinned and purred at the thought of Fern. “Rrrrr!” Randall rolled his eyes. “Look, how about if I run home and get some meat?” A.T. Jr. scowled. “Uh-uh, no way, not doing it!” Hmm, Randall thought. This plant must be a vegetarian. “Okay then, how about I buy some vegetables from the store.” A.T. Jr. stood straight up. “No.” “It’s my final offer!” Randall snapped. “Yes or No?” A.T. Jr did a menacing growl but didn’t harm Randall. “You drive a hard bargain.” Randall clenched his hands and gritted his teeth. “Okay, fine! And don’t ask for dessert either!” He stormed off. You could see how A.T. Jr. kinda have the same personality of the original Audrey 2.

Well the next chapter is up. Read and review.
11. Love hurts
Randall could feel his fronds turn hot as Tony the owner of the grocery store, give him a weird look as he purchased vegetables. In fact, everyone was staring at him. “It’s like they think I’m going vegetarian or something.” Randall grumbled as he left the store. Randall went back to the building where the contest was held. When he got to the room where the plants were, he paused. A.T. Jr. was trying to get the attention of a female plant, Fern. “Hey babe,” A.T. Jr. grinned, poking Fern’s leaves. “Want to join me when my owner brings back the food?” “No!” Fern snarled. “I don’t.” Fern can talk too? Randall thought. “Hey come on Ferny!” A.T. Jr. said, wrapping his vines around Fern. “It’s just a little dinner and—” Fern then clamped her jaws on A.T. Jr.’s vines and bit hard. “Ow!” A.T. Jr. yelped, unwrapping his vines from Fern. Fern snarled at him. “I said no, and NO!” She then rolled away to the other side of the room with her skateboard. A.T. Jr. stared at Fern with a bewildered expression. Randall stepped into the room and went over to A.T. Jr. “I saw what happened.” A.T. Jr. scowled. “Great, first getting chomped on by my almost-girlfriend, and then finding out your owner saw you getting bitten on by a female plant!” “Come on,” Randall said, “it can’t be that bad.” Then monsters came into the room, carrying speakers and microphones. “What’s going on here?” Randall asked. “We’re setting up a karaoke stand.” One monster said. “It is said that plants grow better if someone sings to them.” “Sing?” Randall said. A.T. Jr. rubbed his vines and grinned. “Oh goody.”

I finally got my lazy rear to write a chapter after renting "Little Shop of Horror" from Hollywood video. Sorry it took so long!
12. They say the meek shall inherit
Randall stood with his back against the wall in the Monsters Inc. main lobby. After three or four monsters singing to the plants, he decided to leave. “Oh boy,” He groaned. “I’ve heard better crows than that lot!” “Hey, Randall,” Randall looked up and jumped. “Kelly! What? What is it?” Kelly looked behind her shoulder. “Well, we have three things to attend to tomorrow.” “About what?” “About the plants.” “The plants?” Randall said, staring at her. Kelly nodded. “Just some ideas these guys have. Are you gonna come?” Randall sighed. “If it means answering questions, then maybe I can come.”
“Randall Boggs and Kelly Monitor!” An orange furry monster said, coming into the room. It was early the next morning. Randall and Kelly were seated in chairs, waiting for Mr. Skip. Skip came into the room and shook the two reptile’s hands. “Just an honor to meet you! Now about the plants, how about we book you for lecturing tours?” “Lecturing tours?” Randall said, staring at him. “Yeah,” Skip said. “Just talk about the plant, say where it came from, what do you feed it.” “Won’t that be confusing for the others?” Kelly asked. “I mean, these plants eat different things.” “Then just tell them that.” Skip said. “I mean, at least they don’t eat blood like in the movie!” He laughed. Randall and Kelly laughed, unenthusiastically. At lunchtime, they met Mrs. Luce in a restaurant. She explained that they will take their picture with the plants and it will be on the cover of a magazine. “The photographers will come on Thursday,” Mrs. Luce said. “So wear something clean and get the plants ready. Aren’t you thrilled? It’s the cover of Monster Life magazine!” After lunch, they met Mr. Bernstein, who had this idea about a gardening TV show. “A TV show?!” Randall said, staring at him. “Sure kid!” Mr. Bernstein said. “You get to talk about how to care for plants and all.” “But we’re not really plant monsters.” Kelly said. “We just got our plants from this weird guy, maybe you should ask him.” “Oh don’t worry.” Bernstein said. “You’ll get some help from other gardeners.” He handed them a pen. “Just sign on the contract.” Randall looked at Kelly. Kelly looked at him. Randall looked at Bernstein. “We’ll think about it.” “Well think about it quick!” Bernstein called after them when they left. At the door, they were greeted by reporters and photographers. Randall looked at Kelly. “So, what do we do now?” Kelly sighed. “Do what we always do when we don’t want anyone to know about us.” Randall nodded. Together, they blended into the surroundings and pushed through the crowd.
